Did you use a tool for the rivets? If so, what was iit because I'd like to try the same method on my sneakers.Hello everyone. This forum thread has been great to follow. Through your posts, I have managed to make my own pair of Nostromo crew shoes. I used the PF Flyers shoes. For the D-rings (plastic) and leather strap, I sourced those from Aliexpress.us and for the rivets, I found some on Etsy. I am happy with how it all turned out. All that being said, I have some left over material I am wondering if anyone would like it. There are enough D-rings to make another pair of shoes and enough leather strap to make several pairs. I also have a couple of the rivets left over though only enough to make one side of one shoe. I don't need another pair of shoes and if I do, I have the sources to purchase again. First to say they want it, gets it. If you're wondering about the pants, I purchased the Nostromo Crew Uniform (pants, shirt and jacket) from Nostromocrew.com. Anyways, thanks again everyone for sharing your creations. View attachment 1660552View attachment 1660554View attachment 1660553View attachment 1660559View attachment 1660555View attachment 1660556
I used a rivet setter. Very easy to use.Did you use a tool for the rivets? If so, what was iit because I'd like to try the same method on my sneakers.

Awesome. You shouldn't have any issues. Pretty straight forward.Thanks, I'm going to follow what you did on your sneakers.
You're really planning on replacing the current soles? That sounds like a extra level of cost & complexity that most people won't appreciate / notice. Don't get me wrong, if your aim is as screen accurate as humanly possible, then excellent! I very much look forward to seeing your project, and wish you the best of luck. Buuuut if you're something a bit like me, and often budget [&/or time] constrained, a wee bit of compromise on some aspects of a prop build isn't a bad thing, for both mental & wallet health$18.08 = Urethane shoe adhesive

Hello everyone,
I've been tearing my hair out all week trying to figure out what on earth the original shoes that appear in the movie were, some have said that they were converse, some have said that they were PF Flyers, but small details like the external reinforced heel panel, the bumper pattern, the hiking soles and the triple air vents convinced me that this couldn't be the case.
After much sleuthing I'm glad to let you all know I have solved the mystery once and for all.
They are the "Chicago Dodgers" shoe made by the company INTER in the mid 70s. Here are some photos that may help you on your replica journey.
Hmm, it appears that you [or someone else on PropSummit] discovered this a few years back ...Fantastic! Very exciting information. Thanks for posting. I found these in a Robert Plant music video a few years ago (I'm in The Mood), but could not sort out the brand. Quick photo grab because I'm so excited by your I.D.
